BMW to Phase Out Combustion Engines From Main Plant by 2024

At a meeting marking the start of production of its electric i4 model, the head of BMW production said on Friday that by 2024, BMW will stop producing internal combustion engines at its main factory in Munich. The ICE engines currently manufactured in Munich will be produced in BMW’s Austria and UK plants in the future. Production manager Milan Nedeljkovic said that although cars using these engines will still be assembled at the Munich plant.

However, the company said that by 2023, at least half of the vehicles produced in Munich will be electrified-battery-electric or plug-in hybrids.

BMW has set a goal for itself. By 2030, at least 50% of global new car sales will be electric vehicles. CEO Oliver Zipse said at a meeting last week that if Internal combustion engine vehicles are banned in any market, and the company will be ready to launch an all-electric vehicle. .

The company stated that the i4 pure electric vehicle was produced on a joint assembly line with ICE and hybrid models (such as BMW 3 Series sedan and Touring), and this transformation cost 200 million euros (233 million U.S. dollars or 1,746 crore rupees). In terms of production infrastructure.

A similar hybrid assembly line has already been carried out at the automaker’s Dingolfing plant, which produces BMW iX as well as hybrid and ICE models.
Plant manager Peter Weber said that the new model will give priority to the allocation of scarce chips. Nedeljkovic added that the company has sufficient stocks of other raw materials.

BMW has previously stated that due to the chip shortage that plagues global automakers, it is expected that this year’s car production will be 70,000 to 90,000 less than this year’s sales.

It also promised to reduce the transportation logistics emissions of the company’s largest Munich plant to zero in the next few years, but did not give a specific date.
It said this will be achieved by increasing the use of rail transport and battery-powered trucks to transport vehicles inside and outside the factory.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
